Is It Time For 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your SL65 AMG jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your SL65 AMG steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SL65 AMG’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 SL65 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SL65 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SL65 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my SL65 AMG front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SL65 AMG's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG need replacing? If your SL65 AMG shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your SL65 AMG might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
